<div><strong>Help Bring My Dad Home – Victoriano “Tevo” Bonilla</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you in advance for taking the time to help my family. As a proud Honduran American daughter, my life always consisted of the fear of injustice happening to my father. On Wednesday, October 8th, that fear became my reality.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My father, Victoriano Bonilla, known lovingly as “Tevo”, was taken by ICE in Chicago while at a gas station around 10 AM. Someone managed to record it: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/176mkwbZyp/?mibextid=wwXIfr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Here's the video of them grabbing him</a>. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My dad currently has an active work authorization card and a pending case with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). Both of which allow him to live and work here legally.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My father is not just a case number, he’s a loving father, grandpa, homeowner, and the primary caregiver for his 85-year-old mother, Escolastica Bonilla. My dad has lived in Chicago since 1997, building his entire life here. He’s paid taxes every year, contributing to this country without ever receiving benefits like health insurance, social security, or federal aid.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Over the past few days, I’ve been trying desperately to locate him, calling ICE numbers that go nowhere, emailing late into the night, and facing silence and bureaucracy at every turn. My family needs to act quickly to protect his rights and fight for his release.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My dad always taught me to stay humble and help others in need. Today, I’m asking our community to help him in return.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will go toward:

</div>

<div>•	Legal fees to fight his case

</div>

<div>•	Paying his home bills so he doesn’t lose everything he’s worked for

</div>

<div>•	Supporting my grandma, who depends on him daily

</div>

<div>•	And if the worst happens, helping him start a new life in Honduras safely

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us keep hope alive and fight for his return home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading my father’s story, for sharing it, and for standing with our family during this painful time. We will never give up on our dad and with your support, we can keep this fight going.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> From the Bonilla-Herrera Family - thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

</div>

<div>Ayúdanos a Traer a Mi Papá a Casa – Victoriano “Tevo” Bonilla

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Gracias de todo corazón por tomarte el tiempo para leer y apoyar a mi familia. Como una orgullosa hija hondureña-americana, siempre he vivido con el miedo de que la injusticia algún día alcanzara a mi padre. El miércoles 8 de octubre, ese miedo se convirtió en realidad.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mi papá, Victoriano Bonilla, conocido con cariño como “Tevo”, fue detenido por ICE en Chicago mientras se encontraba en una gasolinera alrededor de las 10 a.m. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/176mkwbZyp/?mibextid=wwXIfr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aqui esta el video cuando lo agaran</a>. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mi papá tiene un permiso de trabajo vigente y un caso activo ante la Junta de Apelaciones de Inmigración (BIA), ambos documentos que le permiten vivir y trabajar legalmente en este país.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mi padre no es solo un número de caso. Es un padre y abuelo amoroso, propietario de su hogar, y el principal cuidador de mi abuelita de 85 años, Escolástica Bonilla. Ha vivido en Chicago desde 1997, donde ha construido toda su vida. Ha pagado impuestos cada año, contribuyendo a este país sin recibir nunca beneficios como seguro médico, ayuda federal o seguro social.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Durante los últimos días he hecho todo lo posible por localizarlo — llamando a números de ICE que no responden, enviando correos a altas horas de la noche, y enfrentando silencio y burocracia en cada intento. Necesitamos actuar rápidamente para proteger sus derechos y luchar por su liberación.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mi papá siempre me enseñó a ser humilde y a ayudar a quienes lo necesitan. Hoy, le pido a nuestra comunidad que nos ayude a hacer lo mismo por él.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tu apoyo ayudará a cubrir:

</div>

<div>• Gastos legales para pelear su caso

</div>

<div>• Pagos de su hogar, para que no pierda lo que tanto ha trabajado

</div>

<div>• Apoyo para mi abuelita, quien depende de él todos los días

</div>

<div>• Y si ocurre lo peor, ayudarlo a comenzar de nuevo con dignidad y seguridad en Honduras

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cada contribución, por pequeña que sea, nos ayuda a mantener la esperanza viva y a seguir luchando por su regreso a casa.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Gracias por leer la historia de mi papá, por compartirla, y por acompañarnos en este momento tan doloroso. Nunca nos rendiremos, y con tu apoyo, seguiremos luchando por él.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> De parte de la familia Bonilla-Herrera — gracias desde el fondo de nuestro corazón.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />
